Svenskt bokindustrimuseum initierades av Waldemar Zachrisson vid sekelskiftet 1900 och var kopplat till Svenska Boktryckareföreningen. Artikeln är den andra i en serie som behandlar museets historia.

The Jurassic sandstones around Höör and Vittseröd in central Skåne, southern-most Sweden are almost unique for Sweden and have been subjected to quarrying for at least 1000 years to produce millstones and building blocks for major buildings including the Lund cathedral. In the present study, the bryophyte flora of 17 such old or ancient sandstone quarries is investigated and described. A total of

Svenskt bokindustrimuseum initierades av Waldemar Zachrisson vid sekelskiftet 1900 och var kopplat till Svenska Boktryckareföreningen. Artikeln är den tredje i en serie som behandlar museets historia. Artikeln täcker tiden cirka 1920–1990 och behandlar bl a skapandet av boktryckerimuseet Officina Typographica på Skansen.

Background: In egg-laying animals, mothers can influence the developmental environment and thus the phenotype of their offspring by secreting various substances into the egg yolk. In birds, recent studies have demonstrated that different yolk substances can interactively affect offspring phenotype, but the implications of such effects for offspring fitness and phenotype in natural populations have

This chapters shed light on mobile socialities via a focus on bicycling food couriers, a group of workers who holds a peripheral position in the power geometry of mobility. The absence of proper workplace justifies a particular focus on the mobile phone. Hence, the chapter is a theoretical enquiry in order to elaborate the all-encompassing role of the mobile phone for this kind of work; how it is

Avhandlingen består av fyra artiklar som alla kretsar kring hur ett effektivt nyttjande av infrastruktur kan uppnås. Tre av artiklarna berör externaliteter i transportsektorn medan den fjärde artikeln rör bostadsmarknaden och hur en skattereform påverkade äldre småhusägares flyttbeteende. Externaliteter uppstår när de beslut som en person (eller företag) tar har effekter även för andra och detta iAll four papers in the thesis share a common theme: how to achieve an efficient use of infrastructure and the built environment. In the presence of externalities, pricing according to the (short-run) marginal cost is one answer on how this can be achieved and the first two papers estimates parts of the marginal cost of traffic. Paper I examines the effect of road and railway noise on property pric

The 3.1- and 3.7-km-deep FFC-1 and DGE-1 geothermal explorations wells drilled into the Precambrian crystalline basement on the southern margin of the Fennoscandian Shield are evaluated regarding experiences from drilling, geological conditions, and thermal properties. Both wells penetrate an approximately 2-km-thick succession of sedimentary strata before entering the crystalline basement, domina

In this work, a thermodynamically consistent constitutive framework is introduced that is capable of reproducing the significant time-dependent behaviour of austenite-to-bainite phase transformations. In particular, the aim is to incorporate the effect of these diffusion-controlled processes by plasticity-like evolution equations instead of incorporating related global diffusion equations. To this

Design has the potential to include or exclude people, depending on how user needs are translated into products. Design exclusion has been vast in design for health care. Medication packaging design is a common example. It does a good job of protecting the product but can result in creating difficulties when used, especially for those who are older. Research in this area lacks an inclusive and use

This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book focuses on a collective of international scholars who are researching at the intersections of media, mobility and sociality. It explores the divergent vantage points of the interplay between mobilities and socialities, analysing material conditions, situated contexts and the ascri

Artikeln behandlar typografins roll i relationen mellan text och läsare med utgångspunkt i bland annat bibliografisk teori och Jean-Luc Nancys fenomenologiska tankar om skrift och läsande. I fokus för artikeln står frågan: Kan vi förstå boken med sin typograferade text som litteraturens kropp?In one of his fragments, Georg Christoph Lichtenberg explains that German books printed with roman type, instead of the then default gothic type, always give him a feeling that he needs to translate them – evidence, he says, of “the degree to which our concepts are dependent on these signs”. The article elaborates on this thought. It explores the relation between literature, text (abstract and mat

Background: Changes in grey matter covariance networks have been reported in preclinical and clinical stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and have been associated with amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition and cognitive decline. However, the role of tau pathology on grey matter networks remains unclear. Based on previously reported associations between tau pathology, synaptic density and brain structural measu

Background: Maternal and neonatal health outcomes remain a challenge in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) despite priority given to involving male partners in birth preparedness and complication readiness (BPCR). Men in LMICs often determine women’s access to and affordability of health services. This systematic review and meta-analysis determined the pooled magnitude of male partner’s part

Background: Carotid atherosclerotic plaques with intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) are associated with elevated stroke risk. IPH is predominantly imaged based on paramagnetic properties of the upstream hemoglobin degradation product methemoglobin. This is an explorative observational study to test the feasibility of a spoiled gradient echo based T2* weighted MRI sequence (3D MEDIC) for carotid plaque i

Background: Research and practice are often considered as two different worlds with different values, which causes a gap between them. Involving professionals such as practitioners, managers, decision-makers, and policy-makers in research on ageing and health might address the gap between research and practice, strengthen the healthcare system, and increase older people’s possibilities for healthy

Background: We investigated the alarming trend of curable head and neck cancer (HNC) patients forgoing conventional treatment to pursue alternative medicine (AM). Methods: A prospectively maintained database identified HNC patients with ≥12 weeks from diagnosis to treatment initiation between 2012 and 2017. Reasons for delay were categorized and clinical stages and outcomes of AM patients were ass
